I really loved this story. Getting to read it so many times over the course of the project just cemented that! I loved the warmth between Sam and Jody, and the gentle development of their relationship in this. It stood as a counter to but also in sympathy with the far more brutal journey Dean and Castiel's relationship took; when the landscape itself is formed from and reacting to your very soul, the emotional tumult has such intense consequences!

And for all that Crowley's early remarks about Purgatory seemed flippant, in the end, it really did help Dean and Castiel realise that, not only were they good together, but that they each had worth of their own.

*edit* - oh, and the scariness of the idea of Kevin, even as a tiny little boy, seeing all those horrifying things! Poor lad D:. But a demonic prophet, what a great concept <3.

A truly excellent read ♥.
